Well, there's bridge burning...and then there's bridge burning.

There's bridge burning like "Okay, you live your life, I'll live my life,
you're not on my list of emergency contacts, and we'll see each other at
funerals and family reunions."

Then there's bridge burning like "You are a horrible rotten person, unfit to
occupy space on what is an already crowded earth and I can't wait until you
die so I can dance naked on your grave in the full moon."

At least with the first example, nothing has been said that needs to be
forgiven.

Then again, sometimes the 2nd example has to be done in order to preserve
your sanity. And to give you an excuse to dance naked in a cemetery in the
full moon.
